Of course your comment never came with any sort of data to back it up hence the reluctance to believe it, and i never said Boo to you just the option was unlikely, seems ATT is out to prove me wrong...

But now someone needs to find out what band is it the ATT is upgrading their network to.
And given that he is not able to get good speeds, either the network is not up fully, or the phone does not fully support the network.

I wonder if we are looking at the future where USA is under a common frequency band for data?

More annoying is that he's got better download speeds with ATT than i do with TMobile 3.5G.

There are articles on the web stating that T-Mo's upgrade is only partially complete, in that only the "software portion" is in place nationwide.

Yes. Their HSPA upgrade news is. But what i read is that its only a software update yet and they are making initial runs for HSPA at a few places.

I figured LTE would come after the HSPA upgrade atleast.

Yeah, unfortunately the upgraded speeds, for both carriers, is spotty at best. I pulled 3Mb in Philly, on Broad St., on T-Mo, but 15-20 blocks further north, still on Broad St., at my Dad's house, I could only manage 1Mb.

Perhaps at&t allows T-Mobile roaming in Reno. Their SIM cards are programmed to always show "AT&T" as the operator, so you can't tell without checking the MCC-MNC pair what network you're really on.

Sheon, you were seeing T-Mobile 3G, not at&t 3G.
